- Man, am I bummed out! Sugar was scheduled to play with the Boo Radleys
- last Saturday (Nov 21st). But they canceled because Colorado voters passed
- an amendment to our state's constitution that deals with homosexuals. The
- amendment was proposed by some conservatives. I think the name of the
- group is Coloradans for Family Values. Anyway the amendment was extremely
- confusing in its wording, and I think that's why it passed. Now everbody
- is all up in arms about it. Conventions are being canceled and
- entertainers are boycotting the state. I think that Barbara Streisand
- started the whole thing, but I don't think that she's ever performed in
- Colorado, so she wasn't making a big sacrifice by boycotting the state.
- Anyway, I'm pissed because I was so psyched for that show and they didn't
- decide to cancel until the day of the show, which really screwed up my
- evening. Now I have to read all of these postings that will be coming
- in about how great the show was in other towns. I'll be jealous.
